Have to say, after a couple of years of exchanging notes/data between my Android mobile, iPad and Windows 7 desktop PC using that simplest of expedients, the text editor, I find myself increasingly us...
Although it's worth mentioning that EMA Personal Wiki actually uses Dropbox to synchronise (but it's scarcely noticeable)!
Actually, I've forgotten one really nice option for Windows-Android synchronisation: EMA Personal Wiki, available on both platforms. It's very easy to use and syncs very efficiently. I thoroughly reco...
Erm, you sound very slightly confused, if I may say so. On the one hand you seem quite happy to use Evernote as a synchronisation service (through Evernote's servers), on the other hand you don't want...
Reviews of OneNote vs. other outliners
7/25/2012
Yes, like Alexander I felt there was perhaps a mild misunderstanding or misapprehension of XML in Steve's otherwise excellent review of Bonsai. XML is a great intermediary, but does nothing at all wit...
EssentialPIM on BitsduJour
7/25/2012
"Hey, Sully - you know I said I would kill you last?" - "Yeah, Matrix, yeah, you did..." - "I lied."
And I lied, too - actually, EssentialPIM imported all my contacts flawlessly at breakneck speed - ...
EssentialPIM on BitsduJour
7/24/2012
Take advantage of this interesting deal while it's on, fellow CRIMPers! The reason? EssentialPIM (always a promising if slightly flawed information manager) has now gained the ability to synchronise w...
Using a PIM to catalog files and folders
6/14/2012
Fascinating! I confess I've rather avoided CT - tiptoed round it, so to speak, but maybe I'll have to take a look; for the Greater Good, you understand...
Thanks for the cross-references. I've gotta ...
TreeProjects updated to 2.7
6/14/2012
Yaroslav has just updated TreeProjects to version 2.7, introducing more columns for the list view(s) - plural because you can use them in ALL list views, including e.g. searches. Neat! He's made the c...
Using a PIM to catalog files and folders

This is something that good ole' Smereka TreeProjects does as well - very fast, and with full-text indexing as well (at least of file types it recognises). And images!
Cheers,
Bill

Very interesting - nope, never 'eard of it. I shall check it out forthwith!
Cheers,

CintaNotes half off...
6/7/2012
Yes, I'm a bit like Stephen. I actually love CintaNotes, because its combination of hot keys, simplicity, "just enough" rich text and search/tagging is very impressive. But I also use Evernote and One...
Awesome Note or Daily Notes for iPad2?
5/28/2012
Yes, good point, Steve. This is where note-taking apps that have a desktop equivalent really shine (e.g. Notebooks on iOS and on MacOS, Evernote, OneNote etc.), but it's also where text notes are usef...
Awesome Note or Daily Notes for iPad2?
5/28/2012
Hi Ken,
First, I'm really sorry to hear about your illness - sounds very debilitating.
On the positive side, I have to say that once you start using your iPad in anger, you realise it's vastly super...
AllMyNotes on BitsDuJour
5/25/2012
Just a quickie to note that BitsDuJour has a **freebie** deal for AllMyNotes (in preparation for version 3.0, no doubt, which will include network synchronisation).
Also a nice cheap deal for the rat...
Mind mapping vs. Venn diagrams
5/23/2012
Sorry, forgot to include a link to Mindo: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mindo/id355182443?mt=8
It's not immediately obvious how to do some stuff in it, but once you get the hang, it's remarkably pow...
Mind mapping vs. Venn diagrams
5/23/2012
I'd also point out that e.g. Mindo on the iPad allows you to draw boxes round mindmapped nodes, kind of enclosing them in larger fields. It's not quite the same as Venn diagrams, but for brainstorming...
Yes, I had very high hopes of Everdesk, after playing with it some years ago. I've had a really good bashing of the tyres of the latest version, and while the concept is still impressive, I'm not over...
Inspiration Maps for the iPad
5/18/2012
You're right, Inspiration is/was a wonderful application on Windows (and Mac). But I'm most disappointed that the iOS app isn't desktop-compatible - seems a weird decision. I've still acquired it, of ...
Hi folks, sorry, been a bit busy. On List Master - you can embed lists to more or less any level, I believe, but it doesn't have a conventional outliner "tree". But each list can contain other lists (...
Alexander - I've just discovered that List Master is also available for Android. And as a newbie Android user myself (nice, shiny Galaxy Note - magic!) I'm finding a lot of synergies with iOS. Current...
Sorry, for mystic reasons my acute-accented 'e' at the end of Tapose was turned into a question mark on uploading.
The ex-Microsoft team produce something called "Tapose" (with an accent on the 'e')....
Yo' welcome, Other Bill,
And Alexander: yes, ListPro does run on iPad, but it's horrible. It's also horrible on the iPhone, in fact, but on the iPad it's particularly horrible because it makes no eff...
Hi there, other Bill! Yes, as a matter of fact, I can be of some help here. I also am a long-term afficionado of ListPro, and have long bewailed the fact that Ilium Software don't have any plans to tr...
Liquid Story Binder
4/18/2012
I note that Liquid Story Binder is about to feature again on BitsDuJour. Does anyone have any experience of this? Looks like a fascinating program, capable of a vast array of different information-han...
